Q&As

How did you get into your area of expertise, and why do you stay?

I began my studies in 1969, both as an investigation into the nature of Eastern thought, the idea of an ‘alternative’ approach to medicine as well as a recognition of the social paradigm shift i.e. the ‘New Age’.

What has been the main focus or outcomes of your research/work over the past year?

Mostly oncology, but also in a desire to change the methods of teaching medicine.

How has the research and treatment of gastrointestinal disorders changed in the past 5 years?

Slowly, we are recognising the complexity of human systems, seeing how the simplistic, mechanic approach does not provide answers.

What do you predict will happen in the next 5 to 10 years in your particular field?

We will succeed in breaking-down the medical monopoly or we won’t; there will be a paradigm shift or there will not be a shift.

What is the number one way natural medicine practitioners can make a dramatic impact to attract clients?

Learning and teaching critical thinking and avoiding the simplistic reductionist answers.

What’s the questions you get asked the most often in your field, and how do you answer it?

I generally ask questions and then respond to how the patient configures their answers.

Tell us who inspires you / or who your professional idol is and why?

Of that question, there is need for more than a pithy answer. This is complex and medicine is never straight forward and simple.
